Whats the strangest thing you have ever cut/seen cut with a chainsaw?

I've cut large holes in the ice for fishing.

There's a documentary on the Military Channel where a nuclear sub is completely locked in by ice. Before submerging, one of the crew cut all around the boat with a big Stihl (looked like an 066 or 660). Ice chips were flying everywhere.

Don't ask

Mens underwear - South Carolina garbage in very dense brush.

Nearby got some fishing line too. That jammed up the sprocket just like kevlar chaps.

Womens nylons are the worst! The stuff melts and fuses in an instant. Actually a full disposable diaper is even worse but for a different reason.

Bus Bars

Demo job, years ago at Dow Chemical Chlorine block in Freeport as a young electrical apprentice. Had to cut up 2'x3' solid aluminum bus bars into manageable sizes, still had to rig 'em and lift out with a crane. Very nasty job, 30 years ago.

Several years ago, I cut up a hollow maple tree that had been down for a couple of weeks in the middle of the summer. I noticed something felt different on one cut, I took my foot and rolled the piece over, and I had cut a black snake in two. He was several feet long (before being halved). He came out striking at everything around him, including me.

When I worked for a construction company, we would use a saw to cut non-woven geotextile rolls in half. It worked alright, better than using a cutoff saw, which would melt the ends. I imagine it looked a lot like cutting through a pair of chaps, fibers flying everywhere but the fibers never bogged the saw down. I've also seen them used to cut HDPE pipe.

I saw a video of a guy cutting a pigs head off, quite disgusting.

Went to someone's house and saw a Husky 55 setting beside a tire and rim.
Asked if he had cut the tire off with the Husky-his response was yes!!!

Seen a guy the other day cutting thick corrugated aluminum roofing with a 009, I told him he was a idiot and he said it wouldn't hurt anything cuz the chain is made of steel and harder than aluminum

I cut down a 40'' cottonwood that was hollow for a buddy. I laid it over then cut up the trunk and went on to the limbs which were 24-28'' and hollow also. I got to the last large limb and was cutting away and all of the sudden blood, guts and hair was flying out the back of the 306. It ended up being a coon. I cut all the way through him except for about an inch of his belly and he was still hissin at me!

Neat! I have a piece of PVC that'll probably see the business end of the 2250 at some point.

Ice and snow sculptures are often roughed out with a chainsaw, but I wonder what kind of a chain is used??
